This is our home, our refuge, our sanctuary. It has it's problems, and I get my "wanter" out of joint sometimes. The carpet needs to be replaced (it is still the construction grade stuff), there are more than a few windows that have broken seals, I would love more landscape upgrades, I would love a screen room off the kitchen, I would love another bathroom in the basement, and the list goes on and on. But this week, I have been reminded of how blessed we really are. God has given us this house and we have always said that we would use it for His glory. What does that look like? Well, recently, we have been challenged to examine that thoroughly. Also, I am especially grateful for our home as a former co-worker of mine lost everything in a house fire on Saturday night. I have looked around this house and seen what my life would look like without all of my things. It is a very humbling prospect....
